Publisher's Note
Dr. Presler examines the institutional challenge that Hindu temples have presented to the developing South Indian state over the past century and a half and the ways in which a government publicly committed to nonintervention in religious matters has come to involve itself deeply in temple life. The key to this contradiction, the author argues, lies in the structural conflict that developed in the modern era between the well established powers of the temples and a state moving inexorably toward centralization of control, rationality of administration, expansion of jurisdiction, and autonomy.
